Sleep, Exercise, and the Brain with Professor Tan Dang Vu

How does physical activity influence sleep? Can exercise boost memory and cognitive performance?

In this episode of Monday Science, Dr. Bahijja Raimi-Abraham welcomes Professor Thanh Dang Vu, a neurologist and sleep researcher, to explore the fascinating relationship between sleep and physical activity.

Professor Vu shares insights from his research on how exercise enhances sleep quality and supports brain function. They discuss the optimal time to work out for better rest, the science behind napping after learning, and how sleep disorders like insomnia and hypersomnia impact daily life. Plus, they dive into the role of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in managing sleep disturbances and the effectiveness of different treatment approaches.

🎧 Can working out at night disrupt your sleep? Is napping after exercise the key to better memory? Join the conversation—email info@mondaysciencepodcast.com or follow along on social media.
